Flipkart India, the wholesale arm of Walmart-owned e-commerce company Flipkart, has received about Rs 1,431 crore from its Singapore-based parent, according to documents filed with the Corporate Affairs Ministry.

The parent entity was issued 4.86 lakh shares in Flipkart India at a price of about Rs 29,400 per share, the documents showed.

Flipkart had invested Rs 2,190 crore in Flipkart India in December last year.

The latest fund infusion comes at a time when Flipkart faces challenges on the regulatory front in the form of new policy norms for e-commerce firms with foreign investment.

The new rules -- effective from February 1 -- bar online marketplaces with foreign investments from selling products of the companies where they hold stakes, and ban exclusive marketing arrangements.

Another provision states that the inventory of a vendor will be seen as controlled by a marketplace, if over 25 percent of the vendor's purchases are from the marketplace entity, including the latter's wholesale unit.

Both Amazon and Flipkart have approached the government seeking extension on the deadline.
